Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2025

Your privacy is critically important to us. At ThumbDownloader, we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
  • We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
  • We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information from our users. The core function of our website is to fetch a YouTube thumbnail based on a provided URL. We do not log, track, or save the YouTube URLs that you submit.

Local Storage (Browser Storage)

To improve your experience, our site uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferred theme (Light or Dark Mode). This information is stored exclusively on your own device and is never transmitted to our servers. It is used solely to set the visual appearance of the site on your next visit.

Third-Party Services

Our tool interacts directly with YouTube's public image servers (e.g., `img.youtube.com`) to retrieve thumbnail images. By using our service, you are also subject to YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of third-party services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may change our Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
